Here's a jsfiddle, which uses the solution below to hide a horizontal scrollbar.

.scroll-wrapper{
    overflow-x: scroll;
}
.scroll-wrapper::-webkit-scrollbar { 
    display: none; 
}

It was tested on a Samsung tablet with Android 4.0.4 (Ice Cream Sandwich, both in the native browser and Chrome) and on an iPad with iOS 6 (both in Safari and Chrome).
